Are you still sore how all of your Stetson Bennett predictions fell to shite?

Why don't you go ahead and leave your predictions for Carson Beck?

Actually, all of his stats were against starting defenses with UGA's second string.

UGA put their backups in when they got huge leads, but they stopped passing when the other team put their backups in.

So Beck's passing stats were to UGA's backups against the opposing starters. He only handed the ball off after the other team threw in the towel by taking out their starters.

Heck, against SC for example his TD pass to UGA's 4th string TE was with 6 minutes left in the third quarter. He came out of the game for the 3rd stringer to come in with 9 minutes left in the game.

I understand that people think that his stats came in garbage time... and it's true in a way. But it wasn't what other teams have as garbage time (last 5 minutes). He came in midway through the 3rd quarter much of the time. The reality is UGA dominated many teams so badly (including ranked teams like SC, Oregon and TCU) that what UGA viewed as garbage time started so early in the 3rd that the opponents couldn't justify sitting their starters yet.

Against some teams that you'd think a backup would get minutes against, he didn't because UGA didn't blow them out. He only had 7 attempts against Samford and didn't throw a pass against Kent State (who kept the game closer than most of UGA's SEC opponents).

In 2021 he was UGA's 3rd string QB (After JT Daniels and Stet). He was playing in garbage time and only against very weak teams (UAB, Charleston Southern and Vandy). He was trying to make the most of his attempts and made bad decisions.

In 2022 he got in earlier in games. He played with the 2's instead of the 3's and he played against starters... and did exceptionally well.

In the end, this won't matter in a couple of weeks. But you do have misconceptions about the situations he played in.
